This style of service allows guests to experience a wide variety of offerings, including the following mouth-watering selections: Picanha, Flank Steak, Ribeye Steak, Leg of Lamb, Parmesan Pork Loin, Sirloin Steak, Chicken, Sausage and more!

Pasta And… The most reliably tasty place I know. We’ve been going since they had five or six tables, basically since they opened. It’s a fabulous place for dinner and the service is friendly and personalized. I only come in once a year or so because I can only get there when I visit here from Portland. Despite my infrequent visits, they recognize us and greet us warmly. The food is fantastic and they are willing to make some adjustments to accommodate us being vegetarian. This one goes to eleven.

The octopus was great, better than the ones I ate in Madrid. The fried calamari was good as well. The live music made a fascinating atmosphere.
